wow, I think that pretty much covers it, just when I was thinking of
attempting a response...
There is one issue that should be dealt with soon, namely whether to render
curves as splines or as many (tiny) connected multilines. The splines are
more pleasing because they are reversible (lossless). On the other hand, for
CNC machines the multilines are sometimes mandatory. If this were done it
would have to be done as an option because both classes of users will have
strong preferences on this issue. The other available dxf routines, I
believe, have focused on the CNC multiline approach, while the Cutting
Plotter routine has deliberately not gone that route. (Also, Inkscape has a
Python routine Modify Path->Flattern Beziers that can already do this
conversion.) Anyways, perhaps one of the other routines could be chosen to
do the multiline CNC approach, or alternatively, I would be willing to add
it in as an option to the Cutting Plotter routine. If I did, then I would
probably do it precisely the same as the hpgl output was done.
